Chapter 222: Thousand Corpse Sect

Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

The black-robed young man stared at Ling Han. This young man could not possibly exceed eighteen years old in age, and was only in the first layer of Element Gathering Tier. Then how was it possible that he would immediately think of the Thousand Corpse Sect when he heard the words ‘Bronze-Armored Corpse’?

Strange!

His name was Rong Huan Xuan, and he bore a blood feud on his shoulders. He was forced into desperate straits by another, but then there appeared a huge turnaround in his life. He had obtained the inheritance of the Thousand Corpse Sect and became the heir of the sect even after it had vanished for so many generations. To obtain his vengeance, he dug up the skeletal remains of one of the ancestors of his enemy’s clan, refined them to become his Corpse Soldier and eliminated the entirety of his enemy’s clan.

He had obtained his revenge, but he had also fallen captive to this feeling of being mighty. Not only had he not given up on this twisted path, he had instead ventured further and further along it. He began to cultivate his own Corpse Soldiers and search for new corpses to likewise transform and develop them.

“Young man, you know too much!” Rong Huan Xuan pointed, and that Corpse Soldier that had been devouring blood and flesh immediately stood up and stared at Ling Han and the rest.

This was an old corpse of unknown age. The flesh around its chest was long rotted, revealing the bones inside. However, the flesh on its head, hands, and feet was quite well-preserved and only half-rotted. But this only made it even more terrifying as lumps of flesh were just hanging there, faintly revealing the white of the bones underneath. It was terrifying enough to scare anyone with lesser bravery to death.

The Corpse Soldier had of course lost all sentience. However, after being refined, it was equivalent to it having gained a second life—though it was only left with the instinctive need to devour blood and flesh in order to strengthen itself. Now that its meal had been interrupted, it was naturally enraged, and moaned at Ling Han and the others. Its chin made a ba da da da sound, as if it was about to fall off at any moment, making for an extremely terrifying sight.

“Kill them!” Rong Huan Xuan issued his command.

Xiu , that Corpse Soldier instantly leaped over, charging towards Ling Han and the others.

“A mere second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse!” Ling Han humphed. His sword left its scabbard and stabbed towards that Corpse Soldier. With a ting , the blade sc.r.a.ped against the bones in the chest of the Corpse Soldier, creating a line of fiery sparks.

The bones of the Corpse Soldier actually remained unscathed, which was outside of Ling Han’s expectations.

“Hahahaha. This second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse soldier has just about consumed enough flesh and blood and is about to evolve to the third tier, so how could it be so easily injured by a piece of trash in the first layer of Element Gathering Tier like you?” Rong Huan Xuan said coldly, making no move to interfere.

In truth, he was in Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. If he decided to make a move, then he would definitely be much stronger than the second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse.

Shua , that Corpse Soldier stretched out a clawed hand towards Ling Han’s heart. Its movements were vicious and deadly.

Ling Han humphed, and his figure swayed, actually avoiding that Corpse Soldier and coming face to face with Rong Huan Xuan.

“Then I will—” he jumped high up—”directly”—his sword slashed out—”kill you!” Six flashes of Sword Qi appeared in a dance towards him.

This slash was lithe and graceful, and had completely exceeded Rong Huan Xuan’s imagination. How could it have possibly circled around a second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse and appeared right in front of him? When he snapped out of it, that sword together with the might of six flashes of Sword Qi had appeared right in front of him.

One had to understand that although Ling Han appeared to be only in the first layer of Element Gathering Tier, his real ability was on the level of the first layer of Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. Moreover, his battle prowess was even a few more Battle Stars above that. How could his attack be so easily blocked by a mere second tier Bronze-Armored Corpse?

Rong Huan Xuan had paid the price for his underestimation of Ling Han.

But he was also a person who had crawled out of desperate straits and had a formidable will of his own. In the face of danger, he had instead become extremely calm. He suddenly opened his mouth and released a shrill whistle.
